Nicholas Sironka

I am Nicholas Sironka, a Kenyan born Maasai batik artist with a God given talent. I am also a motivational speaker and storyteller, and use facets of my Maasai culture to share and clearly articulate the ways of our people, the Maasai. For the past twenty three years, my large batik paintings have sought to help bring about a greater understanding of the Maasai culture. This book is a collection of most of my past art works arranged in a life span sequence, delivering facets of my culture across the age range from childhood to old age. As I love children and storytelling, a short story based on a true life experience is inserted within the pages of these works. "I believe that if I can use my artistic talent, to touch another life and make it better, then I will be fulfilling the purpose for which God put me on this earth".
